a quick lead for Rosemary

[Guest guest]

Rosemary, I inadvertently came across this as I was looking for contact

info. I remember you mentioning the gene vector thing at some point.

IUMC (well, really, Clarian Health/IU and Riley) in Indianapolis,

Indiana, USA, is where I go for my treatment. Hugs,

Research

The IU School of Medicine is home to an

NCI-designated Clinical Cancer Center, the National Gene Vector

Laboratory (the nation's only NIH-funded viral vector production

facilities for clinical grade therapeutics), and a Center of Excellence

in Molecular Hematopoiesis.

A $105 million grant from the Lilly Endowment in

December 2000 established the Indiana Genomics Initiative which has

positioned the IU School of Medicine as a leader in genomics and

proteomics.

The fundamental research goal of INGEN is to

establish the relationships between human genotypes and the physical and

biologic characteristics of tissues and organ systems -- relationships

that can lead to genetically complex diseases such as diabetes, heart

disease, osteoporosis and cancer. Such research generates mammoth

amounts of laboratory and medical data, requiring powerful new

computing, storage and analysis resources.

Six major programs in genomics, bioinformatics,

medical informatics, bioethics, education and training comprise the

heart of the Indiana Genomics Initiative. The six programs are supported

by nine " cores " , which are specialized areas of faculty expertise and

research tools such as high speed computers, high speed robotic DNA

sequencing machines and advanced medical imaging systems. The success of

the Indiana Genomics Initiative will be built on the collaboration of

each of these programs and cores.
